TNR 4/27/26 - Hour 3 | CFB Is the New Minor League? Ty Simpson's Fit with the LA Rams

• With 87 overall picks, the Southeastern Conference had the most overall NFL Draft selections for the 20th straight season. The 87 selections are the most ever for any league, as well. The other Power Conferences: Big Ten - 68, ACC - 38, Big 12 - 38, Notre Dame - 6

• Without the National Championship, does this feel the same?

• Does it also feel a bit different because the Big Ten had more than the SEC in Round One?

• The Alabama Crimson Tide has landed the top quarterback prospect of the 2027 class in Baton Rouge five star Elijah Haven. That makes three consecutive Top 5 quarterbacks the Kalen DeBoer staff has landed in Tuscaloosa. What does that say about his recruiting ability at that position?

• Another sign that college football is fast becoming the NFL’s minor leagues. We look at the conference haves and have nots.

• Who would be the best shot at a first round pick for Alabama Football in the 2027 NFL Draft?

• Joe Lunardi has his first Post-Portal Bracketology. Did Nate Oats and Steven Pearl do enough for Alabama Basketball and Auburn Basketball to be included?
